a friendly reminder that microaggressions against asians can also look like this:

  • pretending to gag at asian food
  • pretending to be weirded out by asian customs and cultures
  • excusing cultural appropriation (often through ignoring the stories of asians who have been mocked for wearing their ethnic dress while praising a white person for doing so)
  • not trying to learn how to pronounce an asian person's ethnic name correctly, or asking, "can i call you by something else?"
  • adopting an asian name for the ~aesthetic~
  • using the words "oriental" and "exotic" to describe asian people, particular asian women
  • ignoring the experiences and stories of south, southeast, and central asians
  • making sweeping assumptions about asian countries (including their political, historical and cultural landscape)
  • treating the entire asian community as a monolith and ignoring the fact that the experiences of asian nationals are remarkably different from the asian diaspora/migrant community
  • co-opting asian aesthetics into creative media without acknowledging their history
